So, i thought it may be a good idea for a kind of skill swapping thing.
We're all a talented bunch on here, some of us not just in terms of music either. Not all of us have money either, but those talents mentioned are a bit better than any financial currency in my eyes.
So, with that in mind this is the official skill swap thread!

so yeah i hope that's kind of clear as to the intention of this thread

If you have any skills to offer an would like something in return that's useful to you then post below!

Just one rule that i can think of: Please don't offer or request something if you cannot fully commit to seeing the agreement through to the end or if you cannot offer the quality asked for in a request/offer.

Like, I'd offer to make a video but I'm not sure what type you want or if it'd be done well enough for me to ask you to do any work before I completed it. Just as an example, but we could chat about it though.

And I haven't made a video since I started making tunes 3+ years ago, sort of getting the itch to. Even bought a little 1080p camcorder/phone shaped thingy to get some footage of random shit at some point.

EDIT - and if you were to give me the audio, and get someone else to do it, that works for me. Been thinking about doing this for a little bit now. So just attempting and failing is cool with me.

It might be a good idea for people to post some examples of what they're offering in this thread, that way people can check it out and contact you.

definitely,

like i do mastering so if someone wants that then offer something they can do that i may never have thought i could do with. likewise, please everyone, as vlantis said post your skills you can offer to others, even if you're not looking for something specific yourself at the moment. You never know when you may need someone's talents in this thread.

above all i think it's an awesome way for a community to interact too. so yeah, get posting you skills!

I've had a lot of practice in audio restoration. So if anyone has a fire recording but it has a clip, pops and clicks, mains hum, noise, de-crackle ect. I can also take reverb off a recording to some measure of accuracy.

I can clean up tapes and other such with problems like azimuth effect, correct pitch shifting (stretched tape) with resampling as well as general clearing of clip, clicks and pops, mains hum, noise, act

I enjoy doing this and like a challenge so if this sounds interesting send a recording for me to re-master.

I can do "Graphic Design" - original art with photoshop and various digital and "real world" techniques...abstract, sigil magick, and databending play roles in my visual creativity. I can also write reviews/descriptions/promotional blurbs for your work. Also, I have sample packs designed by me, with original collected and edited audio.

Looking to trade for mastering and/or practical feedback on how to improve the quality of my sound.

I would be happy to master a couple of your tunes, I'm not a pro but i know a thing or too. I can also help you with production, probably my strongest area.

I'm personally interested in any found sound you might have, raw recordings is what I'm after...

I write poetry and play guitar. My poetry can be found in my sign, as for the guitar playing, I'm an intermediate guy with some taste for dissonance. My audio equipment isn't top notch but if anybody needs loop recording or whatev's I could lend a hand. Also if you want text written to your tunes, possibly lyrics as well.

As for the skills I'm looking for ... I don't know. Although doing a spoken word / poetry thing to the music of others would be awesome.

Maybe all these should be listed in spoilers in the first post, I know it can be a hassle but it would help readability.

Okay so I was asked to move this here, I'm not sure what I can give you in return right now apart from full credit but here goes...

"Hey people of IDMF !
I feel like a cheapskate but I'm broke and I simply don't have good enough equipment to be able to do very good mixes on my music or mastering for that matter. So if anyone needs any practice at mixing or mastering you're welcome to have a go on some of my tracks. Of course I will credit you in full !
Thank you in advance to anyone that is feeling generous ! Hopefully sometime when I get decent equipment I can return the favour to some of you. "

I'd be willing to offer any visual art in exchange for mastering. Although I probably won't need mastering for a month or so. I can do video, animation and graphics. Might upload some more recent work soon, so I can post it in here.
